DEVELOPING: Shooting reported at Connecticut elementary school; 27 killed - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Protocol7;38829105]Not only are you fucking retarded for saying I'm not allowed to have an opinion on gun control debates because I'm "racist," I just have an opinion that there are more suitable places to discuss this topic. Why can't this thread just be about how terrible of an atrocity this is?[/QUOTE] Because mogs and racists like you constantly delay gun control debates until they're no longer relevant in the public eye. You don't give two fucks about mourning these kids, you just want another excuse to not Fucking talk about gun control.

Wow... you have to be some really fucked up jack hole to walk onto a Elementary school campus and just open fire... Poor kids ill be praying from them and the families. I hope this jack hole is burning in the hottest part of hell as the devil butt fucks him with a large rock.

[QUOTE=faze;38829060]Exactly. Guns aren't the problem at all.[/QUOTE] Faze you seem a little unhealthily obsessed with guns. A gun can kill a person, you realise that right? It's not like bullets stop mid-air and go "oh wait no dude i don't want to do this" and the person shooting goes 'no you have to'.

[quote=CNN] [Updated at 12:27 p.m. ET] The mom who spoke to CNN's Meredith Artley said she heard "at least 100 rounds" being fired. The shooting began about 9:35 a.m., the parent said. There was a "pop pop pop" in the hall outside the room. Three people went out of the room into the hall where the sounds had come from. "Only one person came back," we were told. The witness told Artley that she then called 911. She said she never saw the shooter but she later was escorted outside the room past two bodies lying in blood. [/quote] jesus christ thats eerie as fuck.

[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;38829149]Faze you seem a little unhealthily obsessed with guns.[/QUOTE] Not really.

I don't even think it's about gun control necessarily... something has changed, the frequency of these attacks are getting to be more and more. What could be the root of the problem? Obviously the ease of getting a gun doesn't help, but something must cause these people to do this in the first place... I literally don't understand how someone could do this

[QUOTE=rhx123;38829111]How can you say guns arn't at least part of the problem? Whilst there are other offensive weapons (such as knives) in my personal opinon, if you are going to go on a killing spree, it's so much easier with a gun than with a knife. Stabbing 20 people HAS to be harder than pointing a reasonably light object at 20 people and someone and pulling a trigger.[/QUOTE] Harder, but unfortunately possible. [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1232787[/url] Also, do we really need a gun control debate here? Limit guns, people still get connections and methods of stealing them or so forth but it can cut off the more idiotic folks from owning one. Do background checks, it's not implausible at all for someone to be 'perfectly fine' and then hit a snapping mental point before fucking other people over because the checks couldn't discern this beforehand.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;38829144]Definitely another possibility too.[/QUOTE] What the fuck is the other possibility? Are you stupid?

[QUOTE=Kopimi;38829146]Because mogs and racists like you constantly delay gun control debates until they're no longer relevant in the public eye. You don't give two fucks about mourning these kids, you just want another excuse to not Fucking talk about gun control.[/QUOTE] lol I thought you [I]weren't[/I] mudslinging. Also how do you propose to magically stop spree shootings that happen once in a while with gun control?

[QUOTE=faze;38829152]Not really.[/QUOTE] lmao, you constantly talk about them as being these perfect machines that can NEVER do harm and ANY idea of gun control you probably run downstairs and lock them in a safe going 'the bad commies aren't going to get you my loves'

Ban guns? There always something else to use. Sad story.

[QUOTE=imarawrus;38829127]Really now, without any ID? Doesn't sound plausible man. That's gross negligence on part of the seller.[/QUOTE] Uh no "man"it's called private sale and it happens daily

[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;38829164]lmao, you constantly talk about them as being these perfect machines that can NEVER do harm and ANY idea of gun control you probably run downstairs and lock them in a safe going 'the bad commies aren't going to get you my loves'[/QUOTE] I never say anything like that you idiot.

You don't give two fucks about mourning these kids, you just want another excuse to not Fucking talk about gun control.[/QUOTE] Also, you're a part of the problem if you're going to fling baseless accusations like this at the worst of times. Take a gun control debate to a fucking Quick Thread or something, not in a news article about the murder of elementary kids en masse.

Jesus. I live about an hour's drive from Newtown. My little brother and sister are getting off the bus soon. I'll give them a hug. Things like this show just how you can't even take your own family for granted.

[QUOTE=faze;38829173]I never say anything like that you idiot.[/QUOTE] Now both sides have started calling each other names. Glorious, we get to play this game again.

[QUOTE=Puni;38829165]Ban guns? There always something else to use. Sad story.[/QUOTE] Yeah I'm sure you can commit a massacre with a fork.

A terrible loss indeed. I can't even imagine what it must be like to have something like this happen to a friend or relative.

Why does it in literally every fucking shooting thread gun control and various other stupid topics have to be brought up. I mean for fuck sake, every argument is the same - every rebuttal, counter-argument, point, metaphor, analogy, etc is the fucking same. It is like we just copy and paste what was said in other threads. Save that for the mass debate if you feel that strongly about it. There is somethings in this world that we simply cannot control, we have to accept that we have sick and violent people who are going to do extremely dangerous things. The damn media does not help the situation they encourage other like-minded individuals with sensationalist titles, they keep count and constantly update that count like it is a fucking game. It isn't just one area that is needing fixed, our culture as a whole is the problem really, that is the problem we sit and point fingers, play the blame game and nothing gets fixed. I'm incredibly upset, enraged about this situation. It is depressing knowing all this just happened, it is depressing that someone targeted children. This whole situation is fucked, i feel sick reading this article and all the updates.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;38829168]Uh no "man"it's called private sale and it happens daily[/QUOTE] Again, gross negligence on part of the seller. And "man" wasn't used in a condescending tone. Was there a bill of sale at least?

[QUOTE=RikohZX;38829176]Also, you're a part of the problem if you're going to fling baseless accusations like this at the worst of times.

[QUOTE=faze;38829173]I never say anything like that you idiot.[/QUOTE] No but you constantly and I mean constantly defend guns as being completly perfect. You LITERALLY just said guns are never the problem. I mean who the fuck are you kidding?

[QUOTE=Kopimi;38829146]Because mogs and racists like you constantly delay gun control debates until they're no longer relevant in the public eye. You don't give two fucks about mourning these kids, you just want another excuse to not Fucking talk about gun control.[/QUOTE] OK, first of all, I'm not racist, I just don't like social degenerates, and I'm sorry to inform you that there are people of color who happen to fall into the category of a social degenerate. So if you'll kindly get your head out of your ass, not only have I never said that gun control shouldn't be talked about, rather than what this thread spur into after I get back from lunch, will be insults and bullshit that isn't backed up by facts, both of which are bannable in Mass Debate, making, somehow, Mass Debate a proper forum for topics like this. People like [B]you[/B] use threads like this to insult people in order to make yourself look better and to Fucking talk about gun control, and how is that any better than what I'm supposedly doing?

[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;38829160]What the fuck is the other possibility? Are you stupid?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=wickedplayer494;38829103]From the sound of that, it appears the police might've killed the gunman.[/QUOTE] Again, we won't know until one of the police briefings gives details as to the cause of the gunman's death. If the gunman chickened out, then that possibility wouldn't be valid anymore.

thread=derailed

[QUOTE=Puni;38829165]Ban guns? There always something else to use. Sad story.[/QUOTE] Doesnt mean you cant take the leading killing instrument out of the equation.

The ad hominem attacks in this thread need to stop. In case you guys forgot, as many as 27 people might have just died. Grow a fucking heart. If you can't hold a reasonable debate with someone without resorting to bringing out the "racist" card, perhaps you should examine why you can't think of any retorts that follow basic logic.

[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;38829186]Yeah I'm sure you can commit a massacre with a fork.[/QUOTE]If it's pointy enough, yeah.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;38829198]Proving your opponents point 101[/QUOTE] Says the guy who responds to "gun debates turn into mudslinging" with ad hominem.
